At around 3:30 p.m., the blaze prompted service disruptions on the Raritan Valley line, NJ TRANSIT said. The disruptions lasted about an hour.

Four trains were delayed after trains had to be held Thursday afternoon due to smoky conditions in the area.

Service has since resumed a normal schedule, though residual delays were reported.
